How Seal Killers ,W rest Livelihood From Arctic Ice

(Canadian Press)

9P. JOHN'S, was- Much u- The seal killers are off! Flour-teen hundred men in eight steamers are heading up the coast of Newfound- land in search of the "main DEW-h" of seals which year after year com- es out of the north on the breast of’ the Atlantic current.

The largest seals found in these waters are the "square flippers" which attain a length of l0 to l2 feet and a weight of i500 pounds when fully grown, By far the most numerous. however, are the "harm" and The young of the hoods are known as "white-

. which breed off this oocast sometime in February.

At birth the young weigh about eight pounds. When the sermon for killing opens a month later they weigh from 45 to 50 pounm. Dur- ing that period they live on thelce floes which afford the greatest soli- tuds for the sucklifgs and their mothers.

Rifles are used to kill the square flippers. The harps and hoods are felled by a blow on the snout with a wooden handled gaff which also is used to drag the "tow" across the ice.

Assoonaltbesealiskilledits tin with the thick layer of fat which lies beneath it is removed from the cal-can with a few strokes of the skulping knife.

Last season's voyage proved so successful after the disappointing wtums in 1932.‘ that two ships were added to the fleet this year. The aix steamers outfitted in 1938 brought in 176.048 pelts with a net value oi $200,000, The Imogene a- hne hailed for 55,636, which mark- ad up a new record for one trip, the nearest approach to which was the kill of Captain Abraham Kean in the Puorizei in 1910, 49,089 pelts.

In the heyday of the industry before the coming of the steame s, nearly every settlement had its one 0r mom sailing vessels. At one time there were 400 craft, employing a- bout 13.000 men, most of them from ports on the north-east coast. 1n the early fifties the annual catches averaged over 500,000.

The highest record of the steam- ara was made in 1900, when l9 ships bought in 353.376 seals. Their mews atltrexawd 3,760. but the ships were dangerously over-crowd-

ed The ass-ma Neptune, for er- ample, carried 319 men. with her present crew u! 136.

Still following the hunt are vot- erans who have witncased all three stages of the great adventure: the sailing 3111p, the wooden steamer. and the steel steamer. Outstanding among them is Captain til Hon. Abraham Kean, commodore of the fleet, who has been “c0111: on the ice" for 62 years In 65 trips to the ioefiekh during that time, he his brought back 960,000 pelts, and this year he expects to booae his "tow" over the million mark.

Captain Kean was Newﬁilnd- lti-nffs minister of marine and fish- eries in 1897.
